This Guy Is Rotten To The Core

October 18, 1994

To make a gnarly, grody creature, just peel an apple and: 1. Cut eye sockets and hole for mouth. 2. Poke stuff in for details. We used wild rice and cloves for hair, black-eyed peas for eyes, wild rice for teeth, pieces of cinnamon sticks for fangs and ears, and swirly pasta for the nose. Push in a popsicle stick for the neck, and... 3. Let it rot! In a matter of weeks, it will look withered and gross.
